The original Derp Birds collection, now a legacy collection. Use these to upgrade to the 2.0 collection. (Sometimes referred to as the "OG Derp Birds")
This collection is now deprecated. Though they can still be staked within the ecosystem, they will not receive any future utility and will not be able to participate in most future roadmap milestones. Use Legacy Derp Birds to upgrade to the new collection: The Derp Birds.
The first collection in the Derp Birds universe, the Derp Birds and PREDs are considered the main characters of the story and project. Once Derp Birds: Rebirth(2.0) launches, this collection is now considered legacy, and their primary use will be to swap for the upgraded to The Derp Birds collection.
Each Derp Bird has 7 unique traits: Head, Ears, Beak, Eyes, Body, Back, and Tail as well as a background trait. Each trait(except for the background) comes from one of the 14 archetypes. Some archetypes are rarer than others.
